I was having a wave of home sickness the other day and was going through my family photos folder when I stumbled on these gems. These two fur balls are the family dogs; Gus and Opi. We’ve had Opi for 11 years and Gus for a little over 3. They’re both some sort of lab mix adopted from the Humane Society in Michigan. Opi was a constant in my life through high school and college. He is paws down the best dog you could ask for, obediant, affectionate and gentle, he has a wonderful spirit. Gus is the baby, he’s high energy, curious and your classic troublemaker. These two were my shadows (because I was the designated walker) during the months I spent at home before moving to Chicago. Even now when I come home, they are every hopeful shadows looking for the chance for a walk and always egar for a little lovin’. I look forward to the day when I can open my home to dogs or my own but for now, I’ll take these two.
Oh hai, I can haz kiss now?

When you talk to him in certain tones he cocks his head like this, it is the cutest thing I have every seen.

How can you not love this face?

Our regal old dog, Opi.
